Congress' Gogoi Demands Review of New Parliament Construction

Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi has urged a comprehensive review of the design and construction of the new Parliament building. Highlighting potential issues, Gogoi stressed the need for expert assessment to ensure the structure meets the highest standards of functionality, safety, and aesthetics.

Gogoi's call comes amid ongoing debates about the building's design and the processes involved in its construction. He emphasised that a thorough evaluation by architects, engineers, and other relevant professionals could identify and rectify any shortcomings.

"The new Parliament is a symbol of our democracy, and it must be impeccable in every aspect," Gogoi stated. He added that the review should encompass structural integrity, accessibility, and technological integration to cater to modern legislative needs.

Concerns have been raised about the rapid pace of construction and the adequacy of consultations with experts and stakeholders. Gogoi's request aligns with these concerns, advocating for a methodical approach to guarantee the building's long-term sustainability and utility.

The new Parliament building, part of the Central Vista redevelopment project, has been a focal point of political and public scrutiny. Proponents argue it is essential to accommodate the growing needs of the legislature, while critics question the project's timing, cost, and execution.

Gogoi's proposal aims to bridge these opposing views by suggesting a collaborative review process. He believes this approach will enhance transparency and public trust in the project.

In response, the government has reiterated its commitment to delivering a world-class legislative facility. Officials have assured that all necessary standards and protocols are being followed rigorously.

As the new Parliament building nears completion, Gogoi's call for an expert review underscores the importance of ensuring that such a landmark structure stands the test of time and serves its purpose effectively.
